I highly recommend any R9 270, No matter what brand you buy, you are going to get a strong 1080p graphics card. You can get a R9 270 now for around $150-$179. I am glad to see prices go down and performance go up. And I will finally be happy when we can finally buy a High End GPU for around $90, And a Mid Range for around $60 And the lower Mid at around $30. To be honest that is how cards should be priced. It does not take much money at all to manufacture them, And they make well over %100 percent profit even with prices getting better. So it is nice to see them being more fair with prices. But we still need them to let go more. Gaming PC's are now the most popular gaming platform since the Xbox One and PS4, People are tired of paying insane prices for something that is just supposed to play games! Not only are they asking $200 too much for the PS4 and Xbox One, But you can't upgrade it, And you can't do near as much with console as you can with a gaming PC. And you can now get a decent gaming pc for about the same price of the Xbox One and PS4. So lowering GPU prices would be a smart move, They would sale much much more making more money than they did selling them at a slower rate with higher price tags. But anyway, The R9 270 is absolutely a solid performer! It not only beats the GTX 660 in performance but it matches the 660 Ti and comes very close to the GTX 760, Even out performing the GTX 760 in some games. Also this card scales very very well in crossfire, I saw a review on the R7 265 in crossfire and it came close to the GTX 780 non Ti, (link to review): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl0EYFfV_-c So I would say the R9 270 in crossfire would match most high end cards.
